God created human beings in his own likeness.

About This Quote

In the Bible, God declares, “Let us make man in our image…” In the book of Genesis, we see God's creation of humankind. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." In this moment of creation, God decides that human beings are to be made in his own likeness. We stand in a line with all of the other creations of God: a fish, a bird, an animal, a tree. But we are different from them because we have a soul.
